Bergstrom signed, sealed and ready for camp

Third-round pick Tony Bergstrom signed Friday and showed up with the rest of the team in Napa on Saturday

“It was hashed out a long time ago,” he told reporters. “I’m an old school guy. I like to do things in person, and I think that kind of fits in well with our organization. It was basically just getting out here and signing. … I’m not about to be the first holdout of the new CBA as a third-rounder.”

Bergstrom has gotten of plenty of advice on what to expect at camp from brother-in-law and Ravens defensive end Paul Kruger.

“I’ve talked to him a lot about camp and I’ve talked to a lot of guys that play at the U about how these training camps go and they’ve been a big help,” he said. “Taking it one day at a time, handling the grind, taking care of your body, I mean that kind of stuff. Those are kind of the big keys.”

The Raiders hope Bergstrom can push starter Cooper Carlisle at left guard. He played mostly right tackle at Utah and is getting used to guard.

“It’s coming,” Bergstrom said. “It took awhile. I got a good taste of it at the Senior Bowl and just all the OTAs and minicamps really solidified that spot. Being in a left-handed stance feels a lot more natural right now. When I get down and run or whatever. It’s getting there.”
